An aptitude towards the hereafter represents an abbreviation of who we are, which is on a constant evolutionary journey not confined to the nutshell of exposure we have or are yet to have. At times, this evolution process can be seen as conscience, which keeps recalibrating and learning from experiences.
This evolution encompasses exploring exposure, the existence of knowledge (both acquired and yet to be acquired), moral, emotional, and personal values, the upbringing in terms of cultural influences, surroundings (be they climatic or the diversification of people), the struggles, the achievements, the failures, and the milestones we all have accomplished.
At times, we interact with people or surround ourselves with unknown peripherals. The suppression we receive or the navigational direction imposed on us shouldn't be taken as the only way out or the only way to be. We all have the flexibility to adhere to the direction we see fit.
We get to write our own rules; we get to choose how we would like to narrate our narrative. It could be merely perfect, disruptive, or going nowhere from others' reference points of view. It doesn't really matter; it's all about how you see it and how good a proposition you can bring into life for the prosperity hereafter.
Let's go out there and do it the way we have understood life's true meaning. If we haven't yet understood it or don't know where to go, take time to indulge in the process of constantly finding and recalibrating yourself.
What matters? What are my values? What excites me? What lets me be myself? What kind of environment do I adore? What kind of hereafter do I see? Am I ready? Is this the opportunity for me? Is this the moment to be in?
These questions are not meant to paralyze us with doubt, but to guide us toward clarity and purpose.
What this means is that we all have the right to redefine how we would like the hereafter to be, not what the universe imposes on us—be it from people's vibes, unfavorable circumstances, or things not being the way we want.
Find a way around obstacles. Do not assume that life will automatically be more fun, more lively, and, most importantly, more of you in it. These things require intention, effort, and the courage to create the life you want rather than accepting the life you're given.
Preparing for the hereafter is not about waiting for some future event, but about living fully in the present moment while building the foundation for what comes next. It's about developing the skills, wisdom, and character that will serve us not just in this life, but in whatever comes after.
Our conscience serves as our internal compass, constantly recalibrating based on our experiences and learning. It helps us distinguish between what serves our highest good and what doesn't, guiding us toward choices that align with our authentic selves.
While we must accept certain aspects of our circumstances, we also have the power to change them. The key is finding the balance between accepting what we cannot change and taking action to change what we can.
This journey is not about becoming someone else, but about becoming more fully ourselves. It's about recognizing our unique gifts and talents and using them to create a life that reflects our authentic values and aspirations.
Preparing for the hereafter is not about preparing for death, but about preparing for life—a life lived with purpose, meaning, and authenticity. It's about developing the aptitude to navigate whatever comes next with wisdom, courage, and grace.
The question is: what kind of hereafter are you preparing for? What kind of person are you becoming? And what are you willing to do to ensure that the life you're living now is preparing you for the life you want to live tomorrow?
Remember, you have the power to write your own rules, to choose your own direction, and to create the kind of hereafter that reflects your deepest values and aspirations. The journey may be challenging, but it's also incredibly rewarding.
The key is to start now, to begin the process of self-discovery and self-definition, and to commit to living a life that prepares you not just for what comes next, but for the person you're becoming.
